Geez........sure it's not TFT, but the resolution is more than satisfactory for its size......I've two of them, well, the 980 model, and it's served me well for its intended purpose. It's NOT a 45" widescreen and doesn't pretend to be. It's alightweight, 2.3" color LCD TV that's easilyportable, decent reception, and decent picture. Works great to catch something when you're traveling or camping or whatever. Take mine fishing and watch some ball or whatever during the day. Very convenient and what the heck do you expect for $50?
